0:00.0	The Amazon ads team flew me to their headquarters in New York City last week to work on some super top secret stuff and wanted to share some behind the scenes of the trip.
0:12.0	What's up guys? Welcome back to Built by Business with Andy Isom. I do have to apologize.
0:23.5	It's been a few days since I've posted a podcast episode.
0:26.7	Last week, I was out of town, like I mentioned, in New York City.
0:31.3	And the beginning of this week has been just absolutely crazy trying to catch back up on stuff.
0:32.9	So again, I apologize.
0:39.5	I'm a little bit off my proposed new podcasting schedule as well as with the video content. But we're getting back into the groove of things. We'll get back on track. Don't worry. I wanted to make sure I

0:47.9	Now, this episode in particular is not officially sponsored by Amazon or the Amazon Ads team. I will have an episode coming out

1:33.5	about tools and features that are coming out, they flew me and a bunch of other creators. I think there
1:38.0	was about 10 of us or so to New York City. So I left on Wednesday, spent most of my day traveling. I mean, I'm flying
1:45.5	from Utah to New York City. So a five-hour flight with the time change ends up being about seven
1:50.4	hours. And I had a two-hour delay sitting on the tarmac, which was kind of ridiculous. I've
1:56.4	never heard of this happening. But we sat there forever. They told us that the plane was too heavy.
